Shadow Yosuke is a character in Persona series. It is the Shadow of Yosuke Hanamura.

Profile

Shadow Yosuke is the Shadow of Yosuke Hanamura. It initially manifests as another version of Yosuke with yellow eyes under the name Other Yosuke after the real Yosuke hears what seems to be Saki Konishi's voice in the Twisted Shopping District. After being rejected by Yosuke, the Other Yosuke turns into a large frog with a humanoid figure sticking out the top named Shadow Yosuke. Once Yosuke is able to accept that it is part of him, it turns into his own Persona, Jiraiya.

Design-wise, Other Yosuke looks the same as Yosuke. Since the boss version is the first Shadow that the player encounters, Shigenori Soejima intentionally designed it to share elements with Yosuke's Persona so that the player would easily understand that a Persona is a Shadow.

Game Appearances

Persona 4

The protagonist, Yosuke Hanamura, and Teddie go to the Twisted Shopping District, where they hear a voice that seems to belong to Saki Konishi voice saying that Yosuke is annoying, she was only nice to him because he is the manager's son, and she wants everything to go away. Yosuke denies that Saki was really like that, and another version of Yosuke with yellow eyes named Other Yosuke appears to mock him. The Other Yosuke says that the real Yosuke finds Junes, the Central Shopping District, and living in a rural area to all be annoying, but he puts up a front about it because he is terrified of being alone. It accuses the real Yosuke of only wanting to go into the TV World for excitement, that Yosuke might even get an opportunity to play hero using Saki's death as an excuse. After hearing this, Yosuke repeatedly denies that Other Yosuke is really him, and it transforms into the frog-like Shadow Yosuke. With Teddie's assistance, the protagonist is able to defeat the Shadow. Teddie tells Yosuke that he must accept that it is part of him, else it will attack again. Yosuke finally admits that his Shadow is part of him, and it transforms into Jiraiya, becoming a Persona that Yosuke can use.
